This initiative is a complement to the book entitled The Meritorious Service Cross, 1984-2014, published by DH&R in 2014 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the creation of that decoration. That first publication outlines in detail the history of the development and evolution of the decoration as well as details related to the insignia. It also explains the creation of the MSM as a decoration junior to the Meritorious Service Cross (MSC). The present work, aside from the following brief outline, will not repeat the history recounted in the previous publication but will focus instead on providing a statistical analysis of the awards of the MSM in the Military Division and provide a register of the names and citations of the 825 recipients of this honour in its first quarter of a century of history. While Canadian military personnel received recognition for military merit through the British Honours System from the time of Confederation to the Korean War, Canadian government policy towards honours meant this system gradually Insignia of fell into disuse in this country from 1953 to Member of the mid-1960s. This left no tangible means to the Order of recognize military merit for members of Canada’s Military Merit armed forces. The Order of Canada, created on (by Spink & Son) the occasion of the Centennial of Confederation Photo: DH&R / DDHR in 1967, was initially intended to recognize both civil and military achievements but the limited numbers meant that very few members of the military could be so recognized. The creation of the Order of Military Merit five years later provided a partial solution but, like the Order of Canada, it was intended to recognize long-term merit as opposed The Meritorious to specific actions. The MSC was created in 1984 Service Cross specifically to recognize “short-term outstanding (Military achievement”. This honour was intended to Division) remain rare and it quickly became obvious that Photo: DH&R / DHHR 1 | The Meritorious Service Medal it lacked flexibility to recognize the various degrees of merit demonstrated by members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). As early as June 1987, the military authorities considered it was necessary to create a junior version of the MSC to fill the gap between this prestigious and rare decoration and the Chief of the Defence Staff Commendation, a departmental award created in 1974 to recognize “deeds or activities beyond the demand of normal duty”. Chief of the Defence Staff Commendation insignia Photo: DH&R / DDHR The solution took the form of the Meritorious Service Medal (MSM) which, along with a new Civil Division for both the MSC and MSM, was created by Her Majesty The Queen on 6 June 1991, forming a new family of honours called the Meritorious Service Decorations (MSDs). Her Majesty’s signature on the approved designs of the expanded Meritorious Service Decorations in 1991 Photo: DH&R / DDHR 2 | The Meritorious Service Medal The Meritorious Service Medal (Military Division) recognizes the performance of a military deed or a military activity in a highly professional manner or of a very high standard that brings considerable benefit or honour to the Canadian Armed Forces.

There is no annual limit or allocation for these decorations, which are intended to be the workhorse of the merit recognition system and recognize one specific act or meritorious service performed over a specific period of time, be it a few minutes, days, a project, an operational rotation or a whole posting. The awards are not reserved for operational or overseas service and the level of award (Cross or Medal) is not linked to the rank or level of responsibility of the nominee, the MSM lapel pin for wear in civilian degree of merit and scope of the achievement attire when medals are not worn being the only factors. The criteria for each Photo: DH&R / DDHR decoration are simple and flexible allowing the recognition of a wide array of achievements by military personnel at all levels and in all fields. The MSDs may be awarded to members of allied forces and may be awarded posthumously. Nominations should be made especially for individuals who demonstrate either: • outstanding performance out of trade, rank and experience; • outstanding performance in trade, rank and experience but performed under exceptional or difficult conditions; or • performance which has an international flavour or effect. Nominations must be submitted through the chain of command and reach DH&R within five years of the date of the incident or the end of the service cited. The files are considered by the Canadian Forces Decorations Advisory Committee (CFDAC), chaired by the Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS). The CDS then makes recommendations to the Governor General who approves the awards on behalf of Her Majesty through an Instrument. The Governor General then invests the recipients with their decoration at formal ceremonies generally held at Rideau Hall in Ottawa or at La Citadelle in Quebec City. CFDAC generally meets every two months except in summer but more meetings can be held when the number of cases justifies it. For example, the Committee met monthly at the height of the Afghanistan Campaign. Besides the CDS, who acts as Chair, membership of CFDAC includes the Vice-Chief of the Defence Staff, the Commanders of the Royal Canadian 4 | The Meritorious Service Medal Navy, Canadian Army and Royal Canadian Air Force as well as a representative of the Governor General who is a senior official from the Chancellery of Honours at Government House. Over its first 25 years of existence, the MSM has revealed its usefulness as a flexible and efficient form of recognition for short-term merit. Its recipients have demonstrated great professionalism and represent an example for others to follow. The MSM has been awarded to nearly every rank of the CAF, to countless branches and trades, to young and not so young recipients and it has recognized a wide variety of The modern award certificate achievements. It can only be expected that the of the MSM CAF will build upon an already rich tradition of Photo: DH&R / DDHR merit recognition over the coming decades.

    DUKE UNIVERSITY Durham, North Carolina CIVILIAN RESEARCH PROJECT THE ARMY’S ROLE IN DOMESTIC DISASTER RESPONSE: PREPARING FOR THE NEXT CATASTROPHE by Neal S. Mitsuyoshi U.S. ARMY WAR COLLEGE Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania March 2014 Faculty Advisor, Duke University: Thomas W. Taylor Faculty Advisory, U.S. Army War College: William G. Braun Executive Summary The military is a unique national asset that possesses the required personnel and resources to rapidly respond in a domestic disaster. Routine domestic disasters are frequently seen in the news, and catastrophic disasters involving significant loss of life, property, and/or critical infrastructure cannot have a successful response without federal support. There are some that even believe the military should play a dominant lead role in domestic disaster response. However, expanding the military’s role should not be the recommended strategy to improving our nation’s disaster response. The implementation of the National Response Plan, as well as other structural improvements at the federal, state and local levels since September 11 and Hurricane Katrina have confirmed that disaster response should continue to be led by civilians, and the military should continue its traditional role of support to civil authorities. In accepting the current national framework for disaster response as the right one, there are some changes the US Army should make to ensure the nation is ready to respond when disasters overwhelm states and local governments. Despite an era of downsizing, one of the challenges for the Army will be to determine how it can improve its Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) mission, while concurrently balancing it with its combat mission.

    1 the Crown and Honours

    The Crown and Honours: Getting it Right Christopher McCreery I N T R O D U C T I O N In the words of that early scholar of Commonwealth autonomy, Sir Arthur Berridale Keith, “The Crown is the fount of all honour.”i The role of the Crown as the fount of all official honours in Canada is a precept that is as old and constant as is the place of the Crown in our constitutional structure. Since the days of King Louis XIV residents of Canada have been honoured by the Crown for their services with a variety of orders, decorations and medals. The position of the Crown in the modern Canadian honours system is something that is firmly entrenched, despite consistent attempts to marginalize it in recent years. Indeed honours are not something separate from the Crown, they are an integral element of the Crown. A part that affords individuals with official recognition for what are deemed as good works, or in the modern context, exemplary citizenship. Just last year we witnessed the Queen’s direct involvement in the honours system when she appointed Jean Chrétien as a member of the Order of Merit. While many commentators and officials in Canada seemed confused as to just what this honour is – the highest civil honour for service – people did realize how significant it was, in large part because it came not from a committee or politician, but directly from the Sovereign. With this paper I will delve into the central role the Crown and Sovereign play in the creation of honours and I will also explore the areas where attention and reform are required in the Canadian honours system.

Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.

    Haiti News Roundup: October 6 – 24, 2005

    HAITI NEWS ROUNDUP: OCTOBER 6 – 24, 2005 International donors half-way to fulfilling Haiti aid pledge Caribbean Net News Monday, October 24, 2005 BRUSSELS (AFP): International donors have given Haiti some 600 million dollars so far to see it through a transition phase and help its next government, they said in a joint declaration on Friday. The money is half the amount of one billion dollars promised under the interim cooperation framework (CCI) aimed at meeting the priorities of the violence-scarred and impoverished island state. "The meeting in Brussels has allowed us to underline that the engagements undertaken in respect of Haiti are confirmed and will be respected," the joint statement said. The donors also said they would extend the cooperation framework by a year until the end of 2007 to allow the new government, due to take office in February, "the time and the means to continue reforms." A new conference will take place at the end of next year to "mobilise the additional finances necessary for this extension." Haiti and the donors at the two-day conference in Brussels also reaffirmed that the "transfer of power to a new elected government must happen in line with the timeframe set out in the constitution; that is February 7, 2006." At a press conference earlier, Prime Minister Gerard Latortue promised that long-delayed general elections in Haiti, the first since the fall of president Jean Bertrand Aristide, would start in December. "The first round of the presidential and legislative elections will take place in December, probably in the first half of the month," he said.
